Wages haven’t kept up for at least 50 years. Working hard and making savings alone is not enough to create a comfortable nest for yourself. Older generations and the younger ones who are instilled with that notion don’t realise that the old way is no longer working.
It’s not your fault, it’s the system. This isn’t to implore people to do investing, but this is a reason why I started doing investing. I don’t trust the system fed to us.
I love my friend, but yes, he’s been a bit ignorant on many things.
Yea, just in time. Although I think the EU and Ukraine saw this coming and have been preparing before Trump 2.0. Fair dues to the Biden administration as well, they passed a law for US to make it hard to quit NATO because of potential Trump’s return at the time. Everyone Trump proofed themselves.

My European brain just confused the fuck out of me.
I think there was an Iranian official working in their censorship board, who sent explicit messages to a young Iranian man telling him he wants to fuck him so hard.
Do these countless companies NOT see this?
Western companies tend to chase short term profits at the expense of the long term.
Pivoting towards a different industry is okay. Japanese companies do it a lot. But of course, the concern is going towards a sector that is in a bubble to chase the hype.
Not only that, buying £70 of a broken game on initial release.
It was a different time back then.
“Just don’t think about it”.

To be fair, we have the GDPR in Europe, which puts people at ease. However, this could be weakened or rid of entirely in order for the EU to become more “competitive” some day. Even the climate change goals of the EU has already been weakened so that we could catch up to the AI race. As sad as it is, it’s just the realpolitik influencing decisions.
I’d say it helps that Hungary being in the EU probably limited Orban going full dictator. The EU had been chastising Hungary. Withholding EU funds hurts Hungary quite a bit. This is a reason why the far right hates the EU and looking to dismantle it, with the help of their American friends.
Wait until Le Pen or Bardella comes into power and remake the deal with American tech oligarchs, undoing Macron’s push for strategic autonomy. As long as the right in France isn’t killed, any attempt of decoupling will only be coupled back to US, because fascists have internationalise their ideas and coordination.
Trump: Yeah, that’s the point.
If democracy is by the people, of the people, for the people-- does that mean people are pedophiles?
Has been since forever. Remember when NYT ran an article that Hitler was a changed man after being imprisoned?
Hasn’t it been revealed that Epstein is coordinating with oligarchs to promote conspiracy theories to dumb people down?
I also want to say I noticed Americans seem to promote idiot kinds of conservatives like Jordan Peterson, Ben Shapiro and Charlie Kirk. I’m not conservative, but there are far more intelligent conservative pundits, such as David Frumm and Roger Scruton, who make more sense. Oligarchs promote idiot individuals to control the narrative which, in turn, control the masses’ perception of reality.

From a cynical realpolitik perspective, Japan is investing, so to speak, on Asian countries so that if a war with China breaks out, Japan would have allies when the time comes.
Although, as far as I know, Cambodia is a nominal ally of China because of the huge Chinese investments.
